HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ned Lamont’s former 2006 U.S. Senate rival is making a late appearance in 2018’s governor race.
Republican Bob Stefanowski says former Sen. Joe Lieberman has agreed to be an adviser on his transition team, should he win Tuesday’s election.
That’s prompted Lamont to tweet, “Gave it some thought… don’t think I’d ask Joe Lieberman to join my transition.”
Opposed to the Iraq war, Lamont defeated Lieberman in the Democratic Senate primary. He later lost the general election when Lieberman ran as an independent.
Stefanowski is doubling down on efforts to pull Lieberman into the race, claiming Thursday that Lamont “refused to bury the hatchet” with his former opponent for the good of Connecticut.
Lieberman tells the Hartford Courant he’s not taking sides and would also help Lamont.
